Game of Thrones star Lena Headey revealed she appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder as part of a witch coven alongside Angus Sampson and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, with the characters functioning as guides through an underworld sequence. The scene was designed with comedic intent but ultimately did not appear in the theatrical release.

Headey disputed media narratives suggesting the cast members were terminated from the project, instead explaining that the cuts reflected questions about narrative coherence and world-building rather than performance issues. She indicated the original concept involved establishing a separate storyline for these characters. The film experienced multiple other removals, with actors including Jeff Goldblum and Peter Dinklage also having their filmed contributions removed from the final cut.

  • Lena Headey filmed a comedic witch coven scene for Thor: Love and Thunder as underworld guides that was cut from the final film
